"Occupy Wall Street" is a protest which began in New York and is now spreading across America. Many people are wondering who these protesters are,
so I decided to document the people supporting the movement.

Some of the people photographed here have been in Zuccoti Park since the first week of the occupation, others are just visitors drawn to see the
community that has been created in support of this movement. Rather than go and snap some ordinary pics, I took along a huge 5ft diameter light box
to capture isolated portraits of the people participating.

Cant co-opt an idea. Sounds kinda cliche. But the people who know why ows is there, know that any co-opting or attempting to, will be dismissed. Lol.
Thats another thing about not having a leader too, they cannot be corrupted.

They can not 'take the leader out' which is a usual tactic. Because everyone is. and isnt. at the same time.

I hope this grows. I hope to see millions take to the streets in the coming months.

I'd rather see pics of ugly people who haven't shaved in a couple days at an inopportune moment of the cameras shutter. Would seem less like a
staging. Besides I'd like to think they would be to busy protesting or communicating ideas to bother with makeup, wardrobe, props, photographers and
grips.
